Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations include glaucoma screening, retinal photography, and cataract evaluation using advanced diagnostic equipment. We assess visual acuity, eye coordination, and overall ocular health for patients of all ages. These exams help detect early signs of eye diseases and systemic health conditions through detailed retinal imaging.
Fashion Eyewear
We offer premium eyewear featuring technologically advanced lenses with blue light filtration and impact-resistant materials. Our collection combines style with functionality, including progressive lenses and high-index options for stronger prescriptions. Each frame selection receives personalized fitting adjustments for optimal comfort and visual performance.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens fittings include specialized solutions for astigmatism, presbyopia, and myopia control. We provide disposable, extended wear, and orthokeratology lenses that reshape corneas during sleep. All fittings include comprehensive training on proper insertion, removal, and lens care techniques for safe, comfortable wear.
Retinal Photography
Using OPTOS technology, we capture wide-angle retinal images with minimal dilation requirements. This non-invasive imaging detects retinal abnormalities, macular degeneration, and vascular issues through detailed layer-by-layer analysis. The digital records enable precise tracking of ocular health changes over time.
Glaucoma Testing
Our glaucoma screening combines air-puff and non-contact tonometry methods with OCT imaging of optic nerve fibers. This multi-faceted approach detects early pressure changes and structural damage before vision loss occurs. We monitor at-risk patients through regular follow-up assessments and visual field testing.
